Hi ladies, not posting with good news I'm afraid. My younger cousin (42) is in hospital today for a lumpectomy. Her dx is only 15 months after mine and is identical. This has scared me in case there is a genetic thing going on as I have 2 daughters as you know. My cousin has no children but her sister has and my brother also has 2 girls. We are now going to push for genetic testing and I hope to god it's good news. It never ends does it. xxxx ... View more

Hi Nette, glad you are doing well. I've had a hard couple of weeks, me and Adrian split up and it's been really hard. It was a sort of mutual decision but it still hurts. I've had 13 Herceptin now, the last 2 by sub cut as my picc line became infected and had to be removed. I should be all done November time!!! Well it's a beautiful day so I'm going to sit in my garden and get lost in a book!!! Love to all xx xx xx ... View more

Hello my lovely JJ's.
